I just finished reading Mark Batterson's latest book, Primal- A Quest for the Lost Soul of Christianity. In it Batterson challenges the reader to examine his/her own existence with the intent of shedding layers of complexity and getting down to the purest essence of faith. He lays out his case by examining the heart, soul, mind and strength of Christianity; also known as the Great Commandment. He uses many illustrative examples to make his points. These points helped me to view the Great Commandment in new, fresh ways.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is feeling frustrated with the ever busier/less fulfilling lifestyle so many in church are experiencing today. Reading it to start 2010 would be a great way to establish focus on a simpler, more "primal" faith for the coming new year.
